    You've preserved a moment in time. Good.
    I spent a lot of my spare time between Mt Beauty and the Cleve Cole Hut up Bogong in the years that I was at LaTrobe Uni.
    Your carving and the film bring back many fond memories (rain/shine/snow).

    Thank you. Yes the colour of the timber worked in well I thought, I spent many years around Tallangatta,& corryong, so" The Man From Snowy River Festival" as well as the film has been an insperation for the carving, I also have a carving of Craigh's hut out of the film, CD
